Airmodus A20 Butanol Condensation Particle Counter,正丁醇凝聚核粒子計數(shù)器

儀器概述

正丁醇冷凝粒子計數(shù)器（英文名：Airmodus A20 Butanol Condensation Particle Counter；英文縮寫：A20bCPC）由位于芬蘭的Airmodus公司研發(fā)制造。A20bCPC是一款基于現(xiàn)代超細氣溶膠測量技術研發(fā)的冷凝粒子計數(shù)器。在很低濃度和高濃度粒子環(huán)境中均能夠精確計數(shù)，是大氣環(huán)境監(jiān)測和氣溶膠研究的理想工具。

A20bCPC可以應用于所有領域的氣溶膠粒子測量研究；尤其當精確度和靈敏度成為核心時，A20bCPC必然成為有力、可靠的工具。它可以方便地測量7nm以上的氣溶膠粒子。

A20bCPC是用途廣泛的計數(shù)器，既可獨立運行，測量顆粒物總數(shù)濃度；也可以接入不同類型的氣溶膠測量系統(tǒng)，用于計數(shù)。該儀器易于操作、使用。前面板的觸屏可以顯示當前濃度讀數(shù)和儀器診斷參數(shù)，所有設置也可通過觸屏迅速調(diào)整。

A20bCPC也可以兼容Airmodus粒子放大器A10。當所研究粒徑降低到1nm時，請選用A10PSM！

工作原理

由于納米級顆粒物不能通過光學進行測量，該類粒子必須通過冷凝在其表面的高飽和度工作流體使其生長至光學可測量范圍，該儀器可測粒徑范圍為7-1000nm。A20bCPC選擇正丁醇作為冷凝劑。

Airmodus Condensation Particle Counters are designed to count individual aerosol particles accurately from very low to high concentrations. They are ideal for ambient air monitoring as well as aerosol research.

The A20 is a robust and reliable tool for aerosol particle measurements in all applications where precision and sensitivity is of the essence. It is a user-friendly tool for counting aerosol particles larger than 5 nm (by request A20 can be delivered with a cut-off between 5 – 10 nm, e.g. for ambient measurements 7 nm).

A versatile particle counter

The A20 can be used both as a stand-alone instrument for measuring the total particle number concentration, and as a counter in different kinds of aerosol measurement systems. It is easy to use and handle. All settings can be quickly adjusted from a handy touch screen, which also displays the current concentration reading and instrument diagnostics.

The A20 is also compatible with the Airmodus Particle Size Magnifier A10. Use the A10 when you want to study particles as small as 1 nm!

Benefits of the A20

- High statistics for low concentrations: the instrument is specially designed for precise particle counting and the sample flow is not diluted

- High accuracy for high concentrations:

up to 30 000#/cm3 in single particle counting mode, for higher

concentrations the Total Scattering Mode Correction is automatically applied

- In addition to the easy to use touch screen, adjusting the settings and data logging is easy. User-friendly

operation software is delivered with the instrument

- All connections optimized for easy access
